Asylum

Miami Asylum Attorney

In the United States, we pride ourselves on our freedom: Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc. However, in many other countries, there is no such freedom. Persecution abounds, and there are millions of people who want nothing more than to relocate to a place where they are free to live, speak, and believe what they will – within reason – without persecution. Many of these people attempt to flee persecution by applying for asylum in the United States.

Filing for Asylum in the U.S.

The U.S. accepts a specific number of legally qualified refugees to immigrate under asylum each year. In the years 2011, the refugee admissions ceiling was 80,000, as it has been for many successive fiscal years. This number is determined each year by the President and Congress and could change for any given year.

To qualify, you must prove that you would be persecuted on one of the following grounds:

Race

Religion

Nationality

Political opinion

Social group

Additionally, you must establish that your persecution is being caused by the government, or that the government is unable to control the actions of those responsible for your persecution.
